I know people who use both. Which one is better? Are they equal? Which one do you use and why?

I want to find out of there is and advantage or disadvantage between using one over the other, besides the fact that the R700 has 1 less shot per clip.

Thanks

M40 is superior, half the time you don't even need to hold your breath and with stopping power its useually a 1 shot kill

M40A3, just too easy to use. R700, too much recoil.

M40 definitely, more accuracy, and the less damage isn't really an issue if you play hardcore as do i.

Uhhh I voted R700 since that was the sniper I'd use the most, but I don't snipe much so I don't know what I'm talking about.

And after seeing the results, I'll definitely be changing to M40

R700 does more damage to the torso than the M40.

Otherwise, they're exactly the same.

M40 FTMFW!

I personally hate the R700. Too much recoil, not as accurate (without holding breath).

M40 has a higher probability that the bullet travels to the spot that you intend to compared to R700.

Having used both M40 and R700 for a long time, I have had better results with M40.

The loss of slight damage is made up by using Stopping Power, which is most likely one shot to the correct spots, and increased chance in which that the bullet will behave as I intend it to be. Not to mention that with R700, it is likely that if you miss your first shot, there might not be your second shot due to the massive recoil and dramatically decreased accuracy in the following shot.

They're both very good. The differences are that the R700 has more recoil and doesn't look as good as the M40. It's really just personal preference.

Alright thanks guys. Looks like that is enough to make my decision.

The M40 is the ugliest sniper rifle available.

..IMO.

The M21 disagrees with you.

R700 - More 1 shot kills and works better for me with quick scoping + it looks sexy.

M40, more bullets, more reliable and because I snipe with ACOG its much better as ACOG adds +5 more damage.

Im using R700 now to complete shit, I started on it then unlocked Mp44.

Haha, nice picture there.

aLi3nZ, actually the reason why I asked this was because I had watched your videos and noticed that you used the R700 more. It seemed that, through watching your video, the R700 was a lot better for the quick shots then the M40A3.

M40, the R700 takes longer to steady and has a vicious recoil.

R700 does slightly more damage, but it makes little difference in HC
